How can you get rid of red bumps on legs?

How can I get rid of these razor bumps I have on my legs ASAP?

• I have a LOT on one of my legs. It's mostly on the lower half, in the front. On the other leg it's not as bad, but there are still quite few. I'm going to be going to an all-day trip with my friends to a place that has two pools, and we're going to be swimming a lot. I would really rather that they weren't showing. It's really embarrassing. And, just to top it off, one of my best friends, who, by the way, I have a huge crush on, is going to be there and I don't want to look bad. The trip... well, it's on Wednesday. The 30th of May. Four days. Should I just not shave until the night before? I have tried putting lotion on beforehand, but they makes the razor get filled with the remnants of it and makes it worse. I tried putting lotion on my legs afterward, too, but that simply made it sting VERY, VERY much, and become even more red. Am I doing something wrong? I read that the way you shave can alter it as well. I shave up my legs, always. Usually I wet my hands and run them over my legs to shave. I can't shave in the shower because my dad says I take too long showers. Could you give me nay suggestions, please? I really can't buy anything, either...

• Answer:

  Try shaving cream? You can put it on and just run some water to rinse the razor and then wash off your legs, so you don't have to be in the shower.
